Shining light on residual emissions for cities
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 03 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-01961-z
Many cities are developing plans and strategies to achieve net-zero emissions and combat climate change. However, the operational value of residual emissions remains unknown, thus challenging the integrity, transparency and impact of such pledges.

Offshoring emissions through used vehicle exports
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 20 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-01943-1
International trade of used vehicles lacks regulation on emissions standards. This study shows that vehicles exported from Great Britain generate substantially higher carbon and pollution emissions than scrapped or on-road vehicles.

Financing negative emissions leads to windfall profits and inequality at net zero
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 30 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01871-6
Funding large-scale negative emissions through a carbon market designed for traditional emission reduction strategies risks exacerbating long-term economic inequality. We suggest exploring alternative financing mechanisms that address this concern and that still ensure decarbonization at reasonable costs.

Seeing carbon dioxide emissions through the trees
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 17 August 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01719-z
Atmospheric observations can quantify anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, but variability in net land carbon exchange delays the detection of changes. Now, research improves understanding of this variability and allows earlier detection of emissions changes.

Countries’ long-term climate strategies fail to define residual emissions
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 09 March 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01614-7
Achieving net zero means balancing remaining emissions with carbon removal, and understanding the nature and scope of residual emissions is key to planning decarbonized energy and industrial systems. However, our analysis of long-term climate strategies shows that many governments lack clear projections for residual emissions at net zero.

Financials threaten to undermine the functioning of emissions markets
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 29 December 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01560-w
With the development of carbon emission allowance markets worldwide, concerns that they could attract excessive speculation have also grown. This Perspective discusses the potential scale and impacts of financial trading, as well as approaches to improve carbon market monitoring and oversight.
